Are you interested in furthering your education in dental hygiene?
The Dental Hygiene Baccalaureate Degree Completion Program is a flexible, online course of study that leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. This program is designed for licensed dental hygienists, who hold an associate degree or certificate in dental hygiene from a CODA-accredited dental hygiene program. The program provides an opportunity for students to participate in a stimulating and educational environment that combines the general education aspects of a baccalaureate degree with advanced education in dental hygiene.
Campus Requirements:
Most students complete their degree without coming to campus, as all Dental Hygiene courses are offered online. Remaining requirements (general education, science courses) are offered online, in person, or by transfer from another institution. See the program website for details.
